After watching too much
Glee (
hah, as if you can watch too much Glee), and admiring everything
Emma Pillsbury wears, I've come to the ever so important realisation that I, too, need some cute sweater/cardigan clips. So I take out a couple of clip on earrings which I thrifted many moons ago, and with a bit of chain, I made this cardigan clip within a matter of minutes! The orange clips remind me of M&M's, so I refer to them as my M&M cardigan clips.
You could buy some plain clips from a craft shop and attach it to a couple of pretty buttons or pendants instead, for something more interesting. There's some
other tutorials out there too. Bring back the cardigan clips, I say! Emma would be proud.
Yay! I'l try that too...
ReplyDeleteAwww.... That's such a cute thing to wear with cardigans.
ReplyDeletePretty colors :)

Also, I was too busy this past week to get over to tell you how much I loved your comment about the Jezebel post. Glad that's behind us and glad to have found you. :)
Absolutely love these. That colour...sigh.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea!! My friends at school recently made me watch Glee with them and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it! I love emma!
ReplyDeleteYou clever little lady you! I've wanted a sweater guard for ages, but can never find the right one or they are outrageously expensive. I love this project. I might even try it with a string of plastic pearls instead of chain.
ReplyDeleteAnna, you creative little gal you! Your DIY cardigan clips are absolutely adorable :)
ReplyDeleteJust this past Wednesday I found two vintage cardigan clips for $1.99 apiece while I was out thrifting. Now after viewing your post, I'm eager to make a few :)
How clever are you?! I love the look! They do look just like orange m&ms!

ReplyDeleteOhhh I have some clip on earrings that I wasn't sure what to do with...now I know!
ReplyDeleteAwww cute! Although I must confess, I bought a jacket from Valley Girl that had a chain like this and I just yanked it off. Now I wonder if I shoulda kept it since yours is super cute.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so chic! ^^
ReplyDeleteAmazing.
ReplyDeletethat's so cool. I never thought of doing that.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try that. I really like DIY
